Famous quotes containing the words jobs, created, presidential and/or terms:

    Religion enables us to ignore nothingness and get on with the jobs of life.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    Blue hampers . . . Explosions,
    Ice . . . The ridiculous
    Vases of porphyry. All that our youth
    Can’t use, that it was created for.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Under a Presidential government, a nation has, except at the electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot-box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.
    Peter Blos (20th century)
